INNSIDE BY MELIÁ LIVERPOOL COMMISSIONS NEW ARTWORK COLLECTION BY LOCAL ARTISTS
INNSiDE Liverpool , part of Meliá Hotels International , is proud to showcase a new collection of artworks from local artists across the Old Hall Street Hotel . The collection includes a mural commission from Jazz Stan , and Joseph Venning , new artwork from Ali Hunter , and a new exhibition by Nathan Pendlebury , part of an ongoing partnership with social enterprise dot-art .
The collaboration with local artists forms part of INNSiDE ’ s philosophy ‘ Stay Curious ’, which aims to accommodate guests ’ every need with considered comforts and inspired lifestyle experiences enriched with locally curated music , art , independents and culture .
The communal space on the Meetings & Events floor of INNSiDE Liverpool , has been transformed by mural artist Jessica Arrowsmith Stanley , AKA Jazz Stan . Jazz ’ s fusion of fine art technique and contemporary sensibilities underpins her aesthetic , resulting in bold , engaging works . Her commissioned works vary from large scale murals to original canvases , with her prominent public works in situ from across the Northwest to London and Dubai . The new commission at INNSiDE Liverpool was created as a large-scale abstract jigsaw , manipulating and collaging patterns and shapes found around the city .
Jazz Stan commented , ‘ Painting this extensive piece in the beautiful bright space , taking influence for the colour palette from the perfectly curated interiors so they worked together in harmony , was an absolute pleasure . I hope the artwork elevates and energises guests before they enter the meeting rooms to discuss creative ideas and do great things .’
A new collection of artworks from independent Liverpool art gallery , dot-art , is now live and part of an ongoing collaboration to showcase work from contemporary local artists . The new exhibition , After The Rain , by Nathan Pendlebury , shows a selection of paintings mainly from “ The Waterloo Series ”, celebrating landscape in all its forms ; suburban , urban , coastal and otherwise . The series was produced from sketches taken around a specific coastal area of sand dunes and lakes in Waterloo , near to the artist ’ s home in North Liverpool . After The Rain is open to both hotel guests and visitors at the Old Street Hotel until May 2022 .
‘ The Liverpool Butterfly ’, the latest work from Joseph Venning , commissioned by INNSiDE , incorporates elements of Liverpool architecture in a unique way . Venning is a contemporary painter who specialises in both large scale wall mural commissions and more visually-challenging , experimental , conceptual paintings . His creation of The Liverpool Butterfly is a must-see and sits in the hotel ’ s ground floor lift area spanning from floor to ceiling , sure to become a hit with those looking for that iconic photo moment on the way to the bedrooms and the 360 SkyBar by Gino D ’ Acampo .
INNSiDE Liverpool is also excited to showcase a new artwork series from Illustrator Ali Hunter . Ali has taken a series of photos from the top of the Radio City tower and has produced contemporary drawings showing these aerial views of the city in her distinctive style . Ali ’ s commission , which is also part of the dot-art collaboration , will be displayed in the hotel corridors throughout the spring .
